Apricot face mask.

Today at the store, I was very happy to find fresh organic apricots. Along with peaches, they are my very favorite fruit. Summer is on its way:)))  Fresh, ripe apricots are also one of the best face mask bases for aging, devitalized and dull skin. Very nourishing and high in vitamin A, this delicious fruit promotes cellular regeneration and prevents wrinkles.

 

Apricot is said to have originated in China.  From there it spread to other parts of Asia and eventually found its way to Greece and Italy. As food, apricot is quite laxative and rates high in alkalinity. It contains cobalt and is a very good choice for anyone with anemic tendencies. So, eat plenty!

To whip up your very own, totally effective, gloriously smelling  apricot face mask you will need the following:

1 ripe apricot

1 tsp. of honey ( manuka honey if you can get your hands on it)

1 tsp. of apricot oil,  rosehip or almond oil

You can stop right here (it will make a lovely mask) or you can boost it a bit with high on antioxidants matcha tea - just a pinch will do and 1/2 tsp. of white clay.
I usually blend the ingredients in the magic bullet but you can use a fork to mash up the fruit and just add the rest.
Apply generously to a cleansed face, neck and upper chest.
Cover your eyes with thinly sliced cucumber and lie down for 15 min.
Rinse with lukewarm water and moisturize.
This healthy concoction from the kitchen will leave your skin glowing, hydrated and delicately scented.  

Massage your face ladies.

If you are looking for a simple, cost free, result guarantied face treatment look no further then your hands. Regularly applied face massage is the best thing you can do to keep your face vibrant and youthful. No cream or potion can compete with a regularly applied face massage.
I consider massage to be the most important part of my treatments and I include various massage techniques in each face treatment I offer at Woman Divine clinic. You can visit me anytime for the   professional version of this blissful art:))You can also ask for a mini - face massage learning session one on one or you can come to one of my Face Yoga workshops. In the meantime you can get going right in the comfort of your home.
       
Apply self massage on daily basis, even 5 minutes a day practiced regularly will bring great results.

Wash your face with a gentle chemical free cleanser.

Use few drops of vegetable oil like: almond, rosehip, jojoba or argan.

Follow the arrows in the picture.

Enjoy! It is a beautiful act of self-nurturing.

Face massage increases blood flow to the tissues carrying nutrients necessary for cell health / healthy cells, happy skin/.

It supports lymphatic flow assuring tissue detoxification and healthy environment for your cells to live in.

Massage releases stress and tension from the facial tissues and leaves you with a soft and peaceful expression.

How can rosehip oil help your skin?

 Rosehip oil by woman divine

Out of all the  base oils out there  Rosehip Seed ( Rosa Mosqueta or Rosa Rubiginosa)is by far my favorite.

-->

I have been using it for years with great result both in treatment with my clients and personally on my skin. It is highly regenerating to the skin, making it smooth and supple. Rosehip Seed oil is used to treat mature skin, wrinkles, pigmentation spots, scars and stretch marks as well as minor burns (great after too much sun exposure).
You can use it plain; just a few drops on a dump skin is enough to moisturize your face. I like to massage my face with it and sometimes I’ll go for a month or two using this oil as my only moisturizer. It is great!
Hair repair, is another option. It will nourish and hydrate damaged hair. Apply Rosehip oil to your hair 2 hours before washing, wrap a towel around your head, sip a herbal tea and relax. Shampoo twice (with a chemical free shampoo, please) and watch your locks shine:)) 

-->

A word of caution;  as you see Rosehip oil is golden in colour and it will stain your pillow case or clothing if not given enough time to absorb into your skin. It has a slightly nutty smell (lovely). Skin absorbs it completely and this oil will not leave a greasy film.
It is high in Vitamin C, A and some E. It will go rancid relatively fast so best to keep a little bottle handy in the bathroom and store rest of it in the fridge.
